Answer:

I can :)

Explanation:

The centerpiece of the Hanukkah celebration is the hanukkiah or menorah, a candelabra that holds nine candles. Eight candles symbolize the number of days that the Temple lantern blazed; the ninth, the shamash, is a helper candle used to light the others. Hanukkah is a celebration of them winning the war of the Maccabees over the larger Syrian army. The story of the miracle, as described in the Talmud, occurred after the liberation of the Temple in Jerusalem during the Maccabean Revolt, and describes how the finding of a jug of pure oil that was to be enough to light the lamp for one day; instead, it lasted for eight days.

thats all I know, hope it helped :)

Which number is closest to the age of our solar system?
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

D. 4.5 billion years

Explanation:

Scientists study meteorites to determine the age of our solar system, since they are the oldest accessible material out there. Earth itself has rocks that are over 4 billion years old.

In recent times, meteorites have informed our view of, and our priorities about, what spacecraft – and perhaps, one day, human explorers – might find on Mars and other planets. And we now recognize that a cosmic delivery of life with an independent origin from our own would revolutionize our ideas about the extent of life throughout the whole known Universe.

How and why did the federal Government attempt to regulate interstate commerce in the late nineteenth century
Lady_Fox [76]
Public pressure- states tried to regulate RR & trusts and SC ruled unconstitutional
Sherman Antitrust Act 1890- attempt by congress to appease country; had little impact
McKinley Tariff 1890- highest protective tariff every; didn’t really prevent monopolies and angered public
Interstate Commerce Act-1887-banned discrimination in rates between long and short hauls, required that RR publish their rate schedules and file them with the gov’t
Due to pressure by the American people to regulate corrupt businesses and monopolies congress passed several acts that limited particular industries, however these acts had little practical effect.
